DEAH OF REV. A. S. HANK.-The
death of this esteemed and well known
divine, was great surprise to friends
and our people in general. While he
had been in delicate health for many
months, yet just before his death, he
seemed to rally in spirits and physical
forces, and hopes were entertained of
his ultimate recovery. On Sunday he
he was down in the parlor (; at noon
Monday he was dead. We can add
but little to the memories that cluster
around his brief stay in Martinsburg.
He was considered an earnest, unpre-
tentious, quiet Christian, possessing the
rare tact of attaching the affections off
all whom he met His kind peace
full face and warm genial hand
